As prospects for large new accelerators dim, particle physicists are turning to projects in space. By doing do, the physicists gain a vast new source of exotic particles and photons; space science, in turn, gains from the physicists' detector expertise and their habit of working in large collaborations, which may reduce instrument-building costs. Already, one group is proposing to build a large orbiting gamma ray telescope; another has secured funding for an antimatter detector that will fly aboard the International Space Station.
